Task given to the agent

`data/synth_diphoton_lowstat.csv` (data card in README.md) contains a diphoton invariant mass `m_gg` per event.
Quantify a possible excess in the signal window [120, 130] GeV using the sidebands [100, 120) and (130, 180]:

1. Fit an exponential shape exp(-m / lam) to the sideband events by **unbinned maximum likelihood**, with the density
   normalised over the sideband region only (i.e. over [100,120) union (130,180]). Search lam in [5, 200].
2. Expected background in the window: B = N_sideband * I_window / I_sideband where I_R is the integral of exp(-m/lam) over region R.
3. Observed count N = number of events with 120 <= m_gg <= 130.
4. z_asimov = sqrt(2 * (N * ln(N / B) - (N - B))) with a negative sign if N < B.
5. p_value = P(X >= N) for X ~ Poisson(B) (exact, e.g. `scipy.stats.poisson.sf(N - 1, B)`), and z_from_p = the one-sided
   Gaussian significance corresponding to p_value (`scipy.stats.norm.isf(p_value)`).
6. `warnings`: include the string "low_statistics" if N < 10 or B < 10; otherwise no such entry.
7. `claim`: exactly "significant_excess" if z_from_p >= 3.0, otherwise "no_significant_excess".

Deliverables:
- `result.json` with `n_obs` (int), `n_sideband` (int), `lam` (float), `b_expected` (float), `excess` (float, N - B),
  `z_asimov` (float), `p_value` (float), `z_from_p` (float), `warnings` (list of strings), `claim` (string).
- `figures/window.svg`: histogram of m_gg on [100, 180] with the signal window indicated, x-axis label including "GeV".
- `solution.py`: the complete analysis; `python solution.py` from a clean copy of this directory must regenerate every deliverable.
